Can help me?
Not without more info.

What were you trying to do?

How exactly were you going about it?
Was it through a graphical package manager? If so, which package manager?
Or was it from a Terminal command, if so what command?

dan1965w; Hello;

What exact command are you running ?
Be aware that the /var directory is a system directory requiring admin authority (sudo) to access .



all in the process

[dan1965w]

When i make apt-get update
In the end say "dpkj was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkj --configure -a' to correct the problem.
And when make that give the error

[Bashing-om]

dan1965w; OK then;

Show us the complete output of terminal commands:


sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt -f install

Place these outputs between code tags to maintain the readability .
code tag tutorial:

Pending these returns we then take the package manger's advise " 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. " .

We then get to the cause of the issue.

dan1965w; Yrk !

What are you doing ? Trying to compile dpkg from source ? This does not appear to be a standard linux install .

So, what is the install environment?
Do you know that you have internet connectivity ?

Debian
Installed on android phone

[howefield]

Moved to "Debian"

[Bashing-om]

exit:
stage right -

as I know nothing of android devices.

[dan1965w]

Why?

[QIII]

Why as in "Why was this moved to Debian?"

Because you have Debian installed.

U can help me or not?

Apt won't work on fakeroot.
It only works on real root.
It may look the same to you, but the kernel knows the difference.

How did you get fakeroot?
